Every year I really look forward to watching BBC Children In Need on the telly. I love that everybody goes to so much effort for such a deserving cause. For those of you who don’t know, BBC Children In Need is a UK charity. Since 1980 it has raised over £600 million to change the lives of disabled children and …

When we first checked the weather forecast for our little trip to Cornwall, it didn’t look great, but actually it’s been pretty beautiful. It wasn’t exactly warm but it was stunningly sunny which makes a lot of difference. So of course you can’t go to Cornwall without visiting the Eden Project or at least that’s what I’ve been told as …

I really didn’t think I’d be such a lover of baby wearing but I am. I talk about it a lot on my blog and I’ve been lucky enough to try many types of carrier. The latest one is very different to the usual ones I’ve had. It’s the Rockin’ Baby Pouch. We have the Patience Reversible Pouch and I …

I want you to think of a world without animals. You can’t? Nope neither can I and neither can Mothercare and that’s why they are donating 4% of the sales of their new Tusk range to the charity, Tusk. I’d never heard of Tusk before. It’s a charity helping to support the conservation of wildlife, sustainable development and education in …

Weetabix have launched a new strawberry flavoured Weetabix for Red Nose Day. I’m sure you’ve seen the little Red Noses plastered over the packaging of the popular Weetabix products as part of their “Pick Your Nose” campaign. For every pack sold there will be a 5p donation made to Comic Relief, plus there’s prizes to be won!! There is a …

After the school run this morning I immediately went to our local newsagent to grab myself a copy of the Sevenoaks Chronicle. There outside on a huge poster was the words “Mums’ Charity Buggy Push”. I huge rush of achievement fell over me. I feel so proud to have raised awareness for Bliss and to share our story. Here’s a …

Today was the day of the 5km Buggy Push I arranged to raise money for Bliss, a charity very close to my heart. I’d put up posters in our local Sainsburys and Tesco, my MiL had helped to put posters on the notice boards in various locations, I’d pleaded many times on Twitter, Facebook and our local Mums Facebook page!It …

When I was pregnant with P1 I was expecting to have her in February 2009. She had other plans. Eager to meet her family and be introduced into the very scary world, P1 arrived in December 2008 just in time for Christmas, Christmas Eve! She weighed 4lbs 13oz which was a really good weight considering she was nearly two months …

Recently, on the bottom of my posts I’ve been including links to some online donating pages for the charity, Bliss. I hope you noticed them! As you all know, because I bang on about it all the time, I’m a mother of a premature baby. My first born. My little ray of sunshine who fought through her first few weeks …

I’m feeling overwhelmed by requests for money or things to be bought since P1 started school. I feel quite lucky because financially I live a comfortable life. This is thanks to my hubby. The money we save on food shopping we tend to spend on the girls or on a night out for “couple time”. It feels like for the …

We’ve spent the whole evening watching every bit of BBC Children In Need. Both my hubby and I shed quite a few tears. People think that kids are so flexible to everything. I could definitely see that in the stories that were told tonight. They are flexible, but they are not indestructible. Things do effect children in ways we could …

I experienced my first Harvest Festival as a parent of a reception class child today. P1 has been practising her singing for the past week, a song I used to sing for my harvest festivals. Every single song reminded me of my school days and my harvest festivals back in primary school! I could sing along to the whole festival. …

I completed my 5km buggy push today for the charity Bliss. I did not realise just how far 5km is! My feet are now killing me. However, I’m very proud of all of us, my OH joined us for the walk too, we managed it in 1hr 12mins and finished it first. A HUGE thank you to everyone who sponsored …

I’m feeling at a loose end with both the girls. P1 is being an absolute nightmare with her behaviour and eating. She’s ended up in her bedroom for discipline twice today! We don’t do this often but it’s got completely out of hand and it’s the only way she’ll listen and realise. P2 isn’t sleeping. At night. She ended up …

This is a plea… A plea for everyone to dig deep in their pockets (virtual, online pockets) and donate to a charity that is very close to my heart, Bliss. I don’t normally take part in anything to do with charities. I hate the way they rattle their tins in your face when you walk down the high street or …
